Microsat - µSat-7X Tactical X-Band Mobile Satcom Terminal

Microsat - µSat-7XTactical X-Band Mobile Satcom TerminalCobham Technical ServicesHigh data-rate mobile satcomsMicrosat (µSat) is a portable VSAT satellitecommunications terminal, designed for military,security and disaster response applications.µSat-7X enables high data-ratecommunications over any X-band militarysatellite network. The light-weight terminal isself-contained within a single carbon fibre andaluminium transportation case, small enoughto be taken on board a commercial aircraft.The terminal employs a dual-folded printedflat-panel array antenna, designed to allowease of pointing and at the same timeavoid interference with adjacent satellites. Theterminal’s side-lobe performance is equivalentto that of a 1.2 m reflector flyaway system.µSatEasy to deploy and point towards the satelliteSet-up time less than 2 minutesTechnical specifications 1Antenna typeTx frequency bandRx frequency bandEIRPG/TPolarisationAxial ratioSidelobesModemPowerInterfacesAlignmentCertifications1data subject to change without noticePrinted, foldable, flat-panel array7.9 - 8.4 GHz7.25 - 7.75 GHz45 dBW typical9 dB/K typicalTx - configurable RHCP or LHCPRx - orthogonal to Tx< 2 dBMIL-STD-188-164AInterchangeable cassette for thefollowing modems:- iDirect e800- Comtech DMD 1050 SCPC190 W, 10.5 -35 VDC,85 - 260 VAC (50-60 Hz, 400 Hz)DC powerAC powerL-band interface Tx and Rx (foroptional external modem)Ethernet RJ45 and/or EIA - 530(depending on modem)Interactive user interfaceautomatically provides requiredlook direction for selectedsatellite using positioninformation from internal GPSreceiver. Beacon receiver providesreceived signal strength forfine-tuning of pointing direction.Certified for use on Skynet 5 and XTAR.WGS certification in progress.Rapid deployment and portabilityCobham’s µSat terminal is fast to deploy. A single user will simply openthe case, power on the unit, fold out the antenna panel, select therequired satellite from the intuitive user interface and point the antennaby moving the unit according to the on-screen instructions. Thedeployment process takes less than 2 minutes.Rapid deployment and portability make the µSat-7X terminal ideal foragile military C 4 ISR operations or for users who need to change locationregularly for tactical or disaster response missions.Physical specifications 1TransportabilityCase dimensionsMassAntenna aperture when deployedOptional shipping case dimensionsOptional rucksack massOne airline checkable hard-case560 mm x 450 mm x 215 mm23 kg824 mm x 536 mm700 mm x 600 mm x 350 mm7 kgEnvironmental specifications 1Operating temperature -20 °C to +55 °CStorage temperature -30 °C to +80 °COperating altitude3000 mSurvival altitude4500 mOperating wind speed60 mph (with ballast)IP rating 65For further information, please contact:Cobham Technical ServicesCleeve Road, LeatherheadSurrey, KT22 7SA, EnglandTel:Fax:E-mail:+44 (0)1372 367000+44 (0)1372 367099cts.info@cobham.comFM1303Cobham CTS Ltd trading as Cobham Technical Serviceswww.cobham.com/technicalservicesRef: CTS060112
